Quality: On the whole, great. There's a couple slightly frayed, semi-finished edges (mostly where the wire channels end) but this is a previously owned bra so I'll take it. On the whole the fabric is light but supportive, firm but not aggressive, double-layered in all the right places, and super soft. Really wide, sturdy elastic throughout. Definitely one to hand-wash.
Comfort: Good! My only fitting issue is a little light wrinkling and some slight cutting in at the top of the cups - def a bra for projected shapes who don't mind their bras very closed on top. Otherwise, soft, sturdy, supportive, and pleasant to wear - only ... minimal hoisting and tugging necessary throughout the day. On the whole, I'd say that fit-wise, this bra runs slightly snug in the band and perhaps a sliver big in the cup - I wear a 30E in Fantasie and this 30DD fit me pretty freakin' well.
Appearance: The pink and purple are surprisingly non-garish but keep in mind there's a bunch of goddamn purple bows all over this thing and they are perhaps needlessly visible under camisoles and the like (though the seams on the cups disappear really well under a tight shirt). Your boobs are front-and-center in this bra.
IDEAL USES: Rococo-era pouting, summer croquet games, being carried about on a sedan chair, looking good in a fancy dress
KEY AESTHETICS: Marie Antoinette Meets Virgin Suicides, General Sofia Coppola-ery, Slutty Bennett Sister
